    This time the player should start with the ball in the middle. The player should start the skill by dragging the ball towards the left cone before dragging the ball to the right cone and run forward
    Coaching Points
    This addition the the skill is to make the defending player move the wrong way
  • it is important that the ball is moved beyond the cones each time
    • beating player
    Description
    know move the cone (6 o clock) behind the player back to about 5 meters away from the centre the player should run with the ball to the centre then move the ball left aand right and continue running forwards
    and then repeat the practice
    Coaching Points
    It is important to understand at this stage that when a player runs with the ball, the position of the ball is slightly to the right of the body, and that if the player wants to drag the ball from left to right the ball needs to be to the left of the body. it is very difficult to drag the ball with the reverse if the ball stays on the right of the player it is therefor very important to check that the player drags the ball left before the bal is dragged right.
    Description
    To finish the skill progression you can put out a pretend player with a flat stick and get the player to do a double gdrag or a lift the vidoe shows a double drag
    Coaching Points
    Still important to move the ball left before moving it right and the feet move first then the double second drag takes place
